Last Tuesday saw me down in London for the opening of the Society of Graphic Fine Art (SGFA) in which l had 3 pieces of work. Earlier in the day l was delighted to learn that my application for associate membership of the SGFA had been sucessfull.
Whilst l was in the vicinity of the Southbank, l popped into the the Bankside Gallery and was delighted to find the annual touring exhibition of the Society of Woodengravers in residence which is definetly worth visiting.
The legendary Ken Howard opened the exhibition giving a thoughtful and humourous speech. To add to my enjoyment of the day, l was awarded a highly commended prize for the ‘Regeneration’ theme of the exhibition with my submission ‘Changing Birmingham’.
The Menier Gallery venue was great and the atmosphere on the night was friendly with people coming up to me and asking me about my work.
